RE: Toxic Positivity and the Denial of Emotions

Wonderful wonderful post. This expectation that so many have about being happy and the pressure that is placed on people to always be happy is so damaging. What about all our other emotions that help us be creative, productive and help us to be whole. I really resonated with everything that you said and I wish that more children get the space to discover their emotions and how to express themselves.
